  • 7240 - Student Records: Access and Challenge

    The Brockport Central School District will comply with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) which protects the privacy of student records. FERPA provides parents and eligible students the right to inspect, review, and to challenge any and all of the student’s education records. It also requires written parent or eligible student consent to disclose the student’s records (in which the student is personally identifiable) to third parties, except for parties or in situations for which FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
